Richard Brautigan Quote
The Return of the RiversAll the rivers run into the sea;yet the sea is not full;unto the place from whence the rivers come,thither they return again.It is raining todayin the mountains.It is a warm green rainwith lovein its pocketsfor spring is here,and does not dreamof death.Birds happen musiclike clocks ticking heavesin a landwhere children love spiders,and let them sleepin their hair.A slow rain sizzleson the riverlike a panfull of frying flowers,and with each dropof rainthe oceanbegins again.
